“I’m afraid we’ve opened the Pandora’s Box, but humanity hasn’t even recognised it yet because we’ve been too excited holding the lid”

Yeah. Quite...

This. Shit gets crazier every day, and we have no idea what we're dealing with... -_-

Anyway, things look... Bad. Maybe we should... Do something? I dunno, call me crazy. :/

More generally, AI is just... Starting to get really good, and I don't think people are really understanding this, and definitely not adapting to it or figuring out what to do about it. And this is gonna land us in a lot of trouble eventually. -_-

I don't entirely agree with this video - I do actually think there's, like, a ~60% chance we manage to create an unaligned superintelligence and all die to it (in part because the billionaires will give it all the control it could ever ask for), but that's far from the only danger - I also think there's, like, a ~75% chance that if we do manage to control AI, then unaligned humans will use it to fuck the rest of us over. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vi3LihtNHZw

If we're going to do anything about this, we're gonna need to agree that it's a problem, and that something should be done, and then maybe even on what that something is. Big ask, I know, but this is really important, sooo... :/

Oh, as for the whole 'Why are the AI CEO's saying this, its not cause they actually *want* regulation - it's because they want to placate their employees. Like, Anthropic was literally *founded* by the entire pre-training team from OpenAI deciding to quit and go form their own company and become OpenAI's biggest competitor - you think either of them wants to deal with that again? Not a chance. For that matter, Jacob Coxon himself is an example of an employee quitting over safety issues.

And more, this time from Hoog. Extremely good video, if very rushed - you can tell by the stuttering.

I still find it incredibly disappointing that so many people who really should know better suddenly don't want to listen to the scientists on this topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xc9vuLGPBfw

And of course, things just keep ticking along, and we're still not prepared to handle the consequences... -_-

"Can't we just unplug it if it goes bad?" Yeah, go try and unplug the *actual ChatGPT* running in the *actual datacenters* *right now*, and see how far you get. Spoiler: You won't get very far. And if you think the people who run and work in the data centers will come to their senses at the last minute and take care of things... Well, good luck. Gonna be disappointed, I'm afraid... -_-

I will also note, even if you do manage to take out a data center... These things are *already* distributed across dozens of different datacenters, and taking out just one or two is barely even a flesh wound. If you want to take one out, you need to get lots and lots of people to agree, and then coordinate on shutting down all the datacenters at once - by passing a law and then enforcing it, say, or something like that. Hence why I'm making these posts!

I swear, people really are treating this like they did global warming a few decades ago. No interest in learning or understanding the damn thing, just wallowing in denial. And given how global warming is treating us, that's bad fucking news. -_-

More from Nate Soares - guy is really getting out there with all these interviews.
